After that Kennedy Center thing Jimmy Page told then he totally supported them doing with a set of all Zep covers. He apparently gave them the keys to the kingdom when it comes to the Zep catalog.
"Battle of Evermore" is a Zep tune. "Mistral Wind" is a Heart tune. Both are two of my favorite Heart songs! The live version on the "AIS: show is amazing.
Oh yes!!!!! I was waiting for this one.....I have not seen this actual clip. HOLY S**T! This is even better than the concert I saw. Keep the HEART reactions coming.....we love it. ❤
Heart always ended their concerts with Zeppelin songs!! Always Fire! Of course I was huge Zeppelin fan!! Ann and Nancy are the GOATS of female rockers!!
Glad to see one of your Patreon's suggested this one. I dropped in your comments a few weeks ago. Ann Wilson was 63 when she killed this version of Kashmir. If you're digging around on YT go find one of the Heart version of Rock and Roll from the late 1970s. She has almost as much range at 63 - now 72 - as she did at 27.
I have lived in the Pacific NW (North Wet 🤣😊) since the early 70s - I'm from Scotland, originally - so I got to see Heart live several times over the years. The smaller venues like The Moore, The Backstage in Ballard and Sky Church stand out for me.
That was GREAT. Had not heard it before….which totally shocked me. How did I miss this? Thanks to your Patreon for requesting it! You still have the treat of hearing it reimagined by Page snd Plant with the Egyptian orchestra. Very different animal. Not the powerful guitars power chords but lots of Middle Eastern vibe.
When I saw them 35 years ago, in a little arena, they closed the show with a spot on cover of "Rock n Roll". Ann & Nancy grew up as big fans of Zeppelin, Jason actually grew up with them, so he's heard and probably played these songs.
This was phenomenal anyway, but when you consider Ann was in her 60's when she did this, it really cements how awesome she is as a singer. I saw Heart live back in the early 80's. At the time I wasn't a huge fan of Heart. I appreciated a few of their songs, but it wasn't until I saw them live and especially doing their Zeppelin encore covers that I really came to love them. Ann is a force of nature.
This song has always felt like it grabs my soul and fills it with truth. I never could explain the feeling. Like an awakening or knowing. Probably my favorite Zeppelin song.
There in the 70's there was one Rock group we called the Female version of Led Zeppelin and it was "Heart." And they were great friends with the members of Led Zeppelin too. There exist 4 Rock groups that can cover Led Zeppelin songs: Heart. Great White. Aerosmith. Greta Van Fleet.. These groups always do Led Zeppelin songs "Righteously!!!" Jason Bonham is making his Dad proud. He had got to be one of the best drummers right now.
I love the theme because the lyrics were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin's 1973 US tour. None of the group members had visited Kashmir. Instead, Plant was inspired during a drive through a desolate desert area of southern Morocco.
Saw Heart and Zeppelin several times in the seventies. Everyone then always considered Heart a female “led” take on Zeppelin. The musicians in Heart then, had the skill to write and perform so close to the signature Zeppelin style, it was if they were channeling them. 🤘😎
They were called "Led Zeppelin with t i t s" to be exact. Over time it got sanatized to either "female led zeppelin" or "little led zep" but in the 70s the moniker was much more specific. They also got called "c*ck rock without the c*ck" a lot as well.
Hope you don't mind late comments. Just had to mention I felt that aura that resonance from this song as well. And Miss Wilson What a front man for this song. Truly masterful performance. But the best part to me. And it makes it personal. Is Bonham's perfection on the drums just like his father before. You can't write a better story.
I saw them on this tour, the Heartbreaker Tour. They performed two sets, one set of Heart covers and one set of Zeppelin covers with Jason Bonham on drums.
Kashmir is totally hypnotic! Only way I can describe it ! Plant at the top of his lyric construction and Page just incredible with the composition of this song Of course the rhythm section outstanding as usual
Had never heard this. Outstanding. Noticed a word change. Ann sang @With no provision but an open space” and it should be “with no provision but an open face”. Sal, you said the keys were drowned out. Wasn’t it the keyboard that was doing the “strings” here? I’m going to have to listen again.
One of the greatest Zepplin songs covered by a great band. Who else can even come close to singing a Robert Plant song. So difficult and she did an amazing job.
Ann is a top tier rock goddess and I love her voice, but next female vocalist is Beth Hart, she has performed with Joe bonamassa occasionally, both top tier blues . I suggest those two who performed " I'd rather be a blind girl " in Amsterdam to perfection
That was great! Another near-perfect LZ cover band is another '80s rock group called Great White - check out their "Get the Led Out" album(s)...EXCELLENT in every way, I promise. :-)
Heart is impeccable with Led Zepplin covers! I saw Heart about 12ish years ago at Lake Tahoe and they sang an amazing cover of Led Zepplin’s “Black Dog” as an encore. Please do a reaction to that one or advise. I found a great video of that performance here on RUclips.
Maybe I'm wrong but, I think the word you were searching for when it came to their performance, it was like they were paying 'homage' to Led Zeppelin. This was fantastic, thanks!
That is a stunning cover. Check out 'Heart - Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin - Kennedy Center Honors HD'. Another amazing cover performed in front of the Led Zep guys.
It's almost blasphemy to say that the words weren't meant for Robert they were meant for heart! But sometimes when heart does Zeppelin it seems what you said is so true! So I guess it's not blasphemy LOL!
It was decent but sorry I'll stick to the '74 original. Hell Page and Plant can't even do a worthy rendition 40 years later and they wrote the damn song. It's better to just leave a song like Kashmir alone, a song like that shouldn't be messed with..
Wow…you really think the 2007 rendition isn’t “worthy”? I think you are just saying, in different words, that once you hear a song and love it, that is the ONLY way you want to hear ever again. I am SO GLAD that Robert doesn’t agree with you!
@@robertwheatley2471 well…..being a 75 year old geezer myself, I tend to be more forgiving of what time does to all of us. And marvel that they seemed to defy time that night snd laugh in its face. I found it thrilling and it gave me chills. So I have a very different perspective. But actually, in 2007 they were still “youngsters”: Jimmy was 63 and Robert a wee sprat of 59. I won’t try to convince you though. Some people just want old rockers to disappear so the don’t commit the sin of aging. I’m truly happy for Robert that he can still be so passionate and fulfilled at this time in his life. A blessing not given to all.
@@helenespaulding7562 --Well Father Time is catching up to Mr. Plant who has not aged all that well and doesn't look a day under 85. The rewards of being a rock star. And he still thinks he's 30 with that hippy hair. It's not 1975 anymore but at least it's not a rug he's wearing... or is it?? Is he still gonna have that at the retirement home?? I grew up 40 years ago listening to LZ but I just cannot bear to listen to Plant today singing a bluegrass cover version of some Zeppelin song from 50 years ago. I mean come on. Like oil and water.. it doesn't mix.
@@robertwheatley2471 helene here. I get it, I think, Robert I really do. You love Zeppelin. Robert is an integral part of that. He tried his damndest to separate himself from that image for several years in the early 80’s and then semi-re-embraced it in the 90’s…..figuring “why not”, it was his heritage. You are correct…he was aged horribly by Karacs death. The difference in his demeanor between 1977-79 is noticeable. To me, he still looked great in 1995….but then in ten years he aged 20. And now he does look older than he is. He’s led a full life in every sense of the word. Yes, he will keep his long hair. I know many “sad, old hippies” who have done so. Part of their self-identity..as it is for Plant..and not just a stage prop. But actually, you see….Robert has actually done it the “right way”, in my opinion. He isn’t out there like David Coverdale, or Phil Collins, or The Stones, or Gene Simmons of Kiss, still trying to pretend that the years haven’t betrayed them. He embraces it. He doesn’t have to like it, but he accepts it…and sings now according to his current place in life’s journey. His way carries dignity with it. I think to enjoy the way Robert sings these songs you, you have to separate Robert the man, from Robert the frontman of Zeppelin. I was motivated to do so because I got into his solo career heavily over the past few years during the pandemic. So I see him as a separate entity. There is absolutely no reason for you to do that. He will forever be that vital, charismatic young guy at the sharp end of Zeppelin. And how he sang those songs then is a part of your growing up and your history. I get that. Perhaps it’s not that he is still performing …doing bluegrass, folk and country, that you dislike so much, but that he has changed up some Zeppelin songs? His last two solo albums are original material and really quite lovely, although with a definite melancholy vibe. Anyway, Robert, I’ve enjoyed our exchange. I’m assuming you are in your 40’s or 50’s. I hope that life has been good to you, and will continue to be so, and that you are as fulfilled and engaged with life at 74 as your namesake is. 🙂
I had the privilege of seeing this performed live...Heart & Jason Bonham. FAN-tastic!!! ❤
Heart always delivers with the Zep covers. Their Battle of Evermore renditions with Nancy doing the second voice are insane
I agree......they do every Zeppelin song justice
After that Kennedy Center thing Jimmy Page told then he totally supported them doing with a set of all Zep covers. He apparently gave them the keys to the kingdom when it comes to the Zep catalog.
Anne can sing her ass off no matter what age she is! Love Heart and they were great in concert.
They also do awesome performances of "Battle of Evermore" and "Mistral Wind". The best ones I've seen are the ones from "Alive in Seattle" in 2003.
"Battle of Evermore" is a Zep tune. "Mistral Wind" is a Heart tune. Both are two of my favorite Heart songs! The live version on the "AIS: show is amazing.
Ann and Nancy are senior citizens here and yet they still have the capacity to blow away all those who are following in her wake!
Oh yes!!!!! I was waiting for this one.....I have not seen this actual clip. HOLY S**T! This is even better than the concert I saw. Keep the HEART reactions coming.....we love it. ❤
That was my reaction too. As soon as it ended I was like: 'HOLY S**T'. The drumming was mind blowing, the overall vibe - mesmerizing.
Jason Bonham's group, LZExperience. Toured with Heart in 2013. When Ann and Nancy went to do LZ covers, Jason covered the drums.
Heart always ended their concerts with Zeppelin songs!! Always Fire! Of course I was huge Zeppelin fan!! Ann and Nancy are the GOATS of female rockers!!
Heart and Zeperella are the best bands to cover Led Zeppelin. A Grand Hats Off To Jason.
Ann and Nancy + Zeppelin …A marriage made in heaven ..happy weekend SalvoG
I had the privilege of seeing them perform this live with Jason Bonham also - in 2014 - INCREDIBLE!!!!!! They did over an hour of Zeppelin tunes...!
Glad to see one of your Patreon's suggested this one. I dropped in your comments a few weeks ago. Ann Wilson was 63 when she killed this version of Kashmir. If you're digging around on YT go find one of the Heart version of Rock and Roll from the late 1970s. She has almost as much range at 63 - now 72 - as she did at 27.
You've got to do the Wilson Sisters cover of "The Battle of Evermore". It is EXQUISITE.
Wish you would do some studio rections to Heart songs off their "Dreamboat Annie" or "Little Queen" albums! Some true gems on these 2 albums!!
I have lived in the Pacific NW (North Wet 🤣😊) since the early 70s - I'm from Scotland, originally - so I got to see Heart live several times over the years. The smaller venues like The Moore, The Backstage in Ballard and Sky Church stand out for me.
She slays this song and every song!! UNBELIEVABLE!! OMG...PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE FROM ALL OF THEM....
That was GREAT. Had not heard it before….which totally shocked me. How did I miss this? Thanks to your Patreon for requesting it!
You still have the treat of hearing it reimagined by Page snd Plant with the Egyptian orchestra. Very different animal. Not the powerful guitars power chords but lots of Middle Eastern vibe.
An excellent and mesmerising version !
On the no quarter Page/Plant album
OMG. In my opinion I actually like this to the original. Live!
Kashmir is still the TRULY greatest rock n roll song of allll time!
Wait - it's the 2002 performances, not 2003. Check out Heart's liver performances in Seattle, 2002. They're mind-blowing.
You Ain’t Seen Nothing! Until you see Heart’s Rock Hall induction concert!!!
When I saw them 35 years ago, in a little arena, they closed the show with a spot on cover of "Rock n Roll".
Ann & Nancy grew up as big fans of Zeppelin, Jason actually grew up with them, so he's heard and probably played these songs.
I saw them do that too at the Montreal Forum! Great stuff.
That was the encore when I saw them in Wichita in 1978 -- they are THE best Led Zeppelin cover band.
This was phenomenal anyway, but when you consider Ann was in her 60's when she did this, it really cements how awesome she is as a singer. I saw Heart live back in the early 80's. At the time I wasn't a huge fan of Heart. I appreciated a few of their songs, but it wasn't until I saw them live and especially doing their Zeppelin encore covers that I really came to love them. Ann is a force of nature.
Yeah, and Plant was pushing 70, when performed at Celebration day. 🤷🏻♂️
@@williamcabell142 He was 63. or 64 if you count when they release the video.
This song has always felt like it grabs my soul and fills it with truth. I never could explain the feeling. Like an awakening or knowing. Probably my favorite Zeppelin song.
You said itcso well!!❤❤❤💯💯
I've always said that Ann is the female equivalent of Robert, such control and power.
I think the word you were looking for is mantra.

Jason is killing it!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanx bunches Sal this is the 1st time I've seen this and I loved it ❤️

Creates huge atmosphere ❤this song
Its hypnotic
I love, love, love this cover!
BTW, this is at "Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience " in Vegas back about ten years ago.
Hope you don't mind late comments. Just had to mention I felt that aura that resonance from this song as well. And Miss Wilson
What a front man for this song. Truly masterful performance. But the best part to me. And it makes it personal. Is Bonham's perfection on the drums just like his father before. You can't write a better story.
Fantastic 💯👍👏❤️🇦🇺
Can you believe that Ann is 72 and Nancy is 68! They performed At Wacken this year! They were rockin it!
I saw them on this tour, the Heartbreaker Tour. They performed two sets, one set of Heart covers and one set of Zeppelin covers with Jason Bonham on drums.
Kashmir is totally hypnotic!
Only way I can describe it !
Plant at the top of his lyric construction and Page just incredible with the composition of this song
Of course the rhythm section outstanding as usual
I think the only person that can sing Plant is Ann. I looooove the instrumentals in this song, and they rocked it out.
So glad you liked!
This was sooo good!
Heart LOVES Zeppelin!! I love how they had Jason Bonham!!
Great reaction!!!!
Had never heard this. Outstanding.
Noticed a word change. Ann sang @With no provision but an open space” and it should be “with no provision but an open face”.
Sal, you said the keys were drowned out. Wasn’t it the keyboard that was doing the “strings” here? I’m going to have to listen again.
"The sound caress my ears" indeed.
Heart has also covered The Battle of Evermore, The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, Immigrant Song, & Stairway to Heaven
and black dog.
In the 70s we actually called Heart "Zepplin with tits". Crude perhaps, but there is no higher praise.
One of the greatest Zepplin songs covered by a great band. Who else can even come close to singing a Robert Plant song. So difficult and she did an amazing job.
Ann is a top tier rock goddess and I love her voice, but next female vocalist is Beth Hart, she has performed with Joe bonamassa occasionally, both top tier blues . I suggest those two who performed " I'd rather be a blind girl " in Amsterdam to perfection

O Father, fill my sails across these seas of years....
Counting the Bass, there's like five guitars on stage.
Jason Bonham on drums.
Maybe I'm wrong but, I think the word you were searching for when it came to their performance, it was like they were paying 'homage' to Led Zeppelin. This was fantastic, thanks!
That is a stunning cover. Check out 'Heart - Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin - Kennedy Center Honors HD'. Another amazing cover performed in front of the Led Zep guys.
I can only suggest Heart doing the studio version of Barracuda. Be well. ;)
Anther group that does an awesome cover of Led Zeppelin is Train. You should check them out singing Going to California.
John Bonham's son Jason is on the drums.
Notice to all the people on stage. Zep was only four! 🤷🏻♂️
I didn’t even think of Led Zeppelin watching this
It's almost blasphemy to say that the words weren't meant for Robert they were meant for heart! But sometimes when heart does Zeppelin it seems what you said is so true! So I guess it's not blasphemy LOL!

Nancy always does so much showboating for someone playing the simplest chords. Makes it hard to watch.
Yeah.....rock n roll is pretty friggin awesome.....
